Chapter 683: Chapter 680
“Who, who is it!?” a man retorted, his face filled with panic.
Lu Xiao said, “The person who attacked Inoue Kami.”
As he spoke, he added, “Untie me.”
As these words fell, two other men were about to come over and cut the ropes, but the man from D-country quickly stopped them:
“Wait! What are you doing! How can you untie him now! What if he attacks us?!”
At this, Lu Xiao’s expression instantly turned cold.
Although he was prepared, he would not cut the rope himself unless absolutely necessary.
“I was planning to go into the jungle to check things out, there’s someone in there now.”
This was indeed true; in the jungle, he had the experience to survive, which these people did not.
And that person could be anyone, perhaps someone extremely dangerous.
Upon hearing this, the man from D-country cursed:
“Bullshit! You want to go into the jungle, are you thinking of escaping or what?!”
With that, he added:
“I think you’re just trying to fool us here, pretending and making things up, letting you go is out of the question!”
As he finished speaking, the other two men also started to hesitate.
Because they indeed hadn’t seen anyone else around this island.
However, just then, a beast-like scream suddenly came from the jungle, and everyone’s gaze swiftly turned in that direction.
But the man from D-country scoffed:
“It’s just a small beast, look how scared you all are. I’ll go and see what it is, maybe bring it back to roast and eat.”
With that, he walked over.
Lu Xiao, however, pursed his lips tightly, his eyes sharp.
This man insisted on going by himself, truly unaware of the danger.
Seeing this, the other two men also seemed to relax a bit: “It’s nothing, there’s no one.”
At this moment.
The man from D-country, holding a dagger, walked to the entrance of the jungle, looked around, and continued to venture in.
A gust of wind blew, and the shadows of the trees swayed under the dim light.
An inexplicably eerie and sinister aura emanated.
Lu Xiao held his breath, his eyes fixed in that direction, and said:
“I told you, you shouldn’t go there alone.”
Yet one man retorted, “What’s there to fear, he just went in, didn’t you see, there’s nothi—”
“Ah…!”
Just past four in the morning, before he could finish his sentence, a sudden, agonizing scream arose,
coming from the direction of the jungle.
The sound, laden with pain and fear, instantly jolted everyone awake as in a nightmare.
Soon after, people started emerging from their tents.
“There’s something in the jungle! One of our people is in trouble!”
The man by the campfire shouted and immediately rushed toward the direction of the jungle.
At this time, David also crawled out of his tent, he hurried towards Lu Xiao, but as he approached, Lu Xiao used a sharp stone to cut the ropes behind him.
Everyone was stunned by the scream, and for a moment, no one noticed Lu Xiao.
As David approached, Lu Xiao gave him a look and they both headed towards the jungle.
“What happened?” David asked anxiously.
“Just now there was some noise in the jungle, I offered to check but was refused, and Mike went in,” Lu Xiao quickly explained.
In an instant, five or six men headed into the jungle to see what had happened.
But deep down, everyone had a bad feeling…
